All of our products are USDA Certified Organic. We use the Kentucky Department of Agriculture as our certifying agency. This process is part of our commitment to be accountable and provide the consumer with assurance that we participate with an agency that monitors our process and products.
We use all the Biodynamic preparations in our farm and also
add soil amendments to insure the best soil quality and highest healing energy possible.
Each flower, or herb, is dried in racks just for this purpose, then inspected and cut by
hand. This attention to detail is beyond what you will find from most other
sources. It is grown on our farm, not shipped in from overseas and resold as
"local" (as some sellers have been doing lately). Our customers have
remarked on the strength and quality of the herbs we grow, so we hope you will
as well. We use Local Harvest to sell our dried herbs. Press the button below to be taken to our Storefront on their website:

Our Herbs are the center of our farm and represent an important part of our business. We use them for cooking, enhancement of health and also as part of the Steiner preparations to improve and feed the farm organism. Here are some of what we grow:

Yarrow is used in many medicinal formulas and is
used as one of the Steiner Biodynamic preparations. It can be ground to a
powder or used in a tea (steep for 15 minutes, then strain). We grow this
flower in special, protected beds and harvest it at the peak of the flowering
season (mid-summer). It is harvested according to the Maria Thun Biodynamic
calendar (Flower day).

Salvia Officianalis

Sage is a hearty perennial plant. It can be used
in cooking as a spice, or in one of many medicinal formulas. When used as a
spice, it can be very potent. Our sage leaf is stronger than most found in
store jars, as we select the best leaf and keep it sealed for freshness. We
ship it in leaf form, so be sure to grind it just before use. We grow this
plant in protected beds and harvest it throughout the season (from late Spring
into early Fall). we trim the flowers (beautiful purple color) in Spring to
increase the potency of the oils in the leaf.It is harvested according to the Maria Thun Biodynamic calendar (only on
Leaf days).

The leaf ofLemon balm is used in many medicinal
formulas and has multiple properties: for calming, sleepiness, and anti-microbial.
It can be used in a tea (steep for 15 minutes, then strain) and some make balms
(with oils or beeswax). We grow this plant in protected beds and harvest it at
2 times of the season (early and late-summer). It is harvested according to the
Maria Thun Biodynamic calendar (Leaf days).

Mint is a hearty plant that can offer many uses.
It can be used in cooking as a spice, by itself in a refreshing tea, or in one
of many medicinal formulas. If used as a tea steep for 5 minutes, then strain. We grow this plant in protected beds and harvest it at 2 times of the
season (early and late-summer). It is harvested according to the Maria Thun
Biodynamic calendar (Leaf days).

Artemisia absinthe

The variety of Wormwood we grow and sell is Artemisia absinthe
. It is an ancient medicinal herb that is very strong. It has
been used in many medicinal formulas and has multiple properties. It can be
used in a tea (steep for 15 minutes, then strain) and some take the dried herb
in ground form in a capsule (as it is very bitter). We grow this plant in
protected beds and harvest it at its peak in mid-season (late-summer). It is
harvested according to the Maria Thun Biodynamic calendar (only on Leaf days).
